Can Lasik or Smile surgery be detected

Question

Asked for Male, 25 Years

I have to appear for Indian Railways medical where LASIK or any such surgery for vision correction isn't allowed, but I can be medically fit only if I go for LASIK or SMILE as I wear specs. Will they able to detect it if I choose more advanced technology, i.e. SMILE?, Which has apparently very small incision on cornea and no flap?
